Abstract
In recent years, the number of cyber attacks, virus carriers, and cybercrime on maritime transport facilities has increased significantly. The emergence of new types of maritime vessels, such as autonomous vessels, dependent entirely on information and communication technologies used for passengers, cargo and baggage transportation, requires legal regulation of relations in this area. Therefore, ensuring cybersecurity in maritime transport and the need to adopt appropriate legal norms, standards and measures at both the international and national levels to manage maritime cyber risks are considered one of the most relevant topics for maritime transport. There is no single, systematic integrated approach, unification of requirements and rules in cybersecurity’s sphere of maritime transport [15]. In this regard, the authors analyze the issues of ensuring cybersecurity in maritime transport, the legal basis of security: some international documents and national legal acts, regulating cybersecurity in maritime transport, will be considered, as well as the main question of how they are able to meet modern requirements for ensuring cybersecurity in maritime transport.
Highlights
One of the main features of the modern world is an active application of information and communication technologies (ICT), artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, big data, the internet of things, and other types of the so-called end-to-end digital technologies in all spheres of life, including maritime transport.Digitalization of maritime transport facilities will become a key element of maritime transport and logistics
The Maritime Transport Review [18] for 2020 rightly notes: ‘The pandemic (COVID-19) has shown that difficult times are easier to survive for pioneers, who are embracing the latest technological aсhievements’ [18]
The purpose of the research is to conduct a legal analysis of existing international legal acts and provide recommendations on ensuring cybersecurity in maritime transport, as well as to identify challenges and gaps related to the practical implementation of ensuring cybersecurity at sea
Summary
One of the main features of the modern world is an active application of information and communication technologies (ICT), artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, big data, the internet of things, and other types of the so-called end-to-end digital technologies in all spheres of life, including maritime transport.Digitalization of maritime transport facilities will become a key element of maritime transport and logistics. One of the main features of the modern world is an active application of information and communication technologies (ICT), artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, big data, the internet of things, and other types of the so-called end-to-end digital technologies in all spheres of life, including maritime transport. The connection of ships and ports to ICT networks requires special legal regulation and strengthening of measures aimed at ensuring cybersecurity. Nowadays the practical implementation of information technologies and autonomous vessels in the maritime industry is facing the challenge of an appropriate legal framework capable of ensuring cybersecurity in maritime transport, as the existing legal framework at both the international and national levels is not able to meet modern requirements for ensuring cybersecurity of ships and other maritime industry objects. There is still no proper legal mechanism for regulating cybersecurity due to the lack of universal approach to the conceptual apparatus of cybersecurity and international cooperation in this area
